A piece of round iron wire, about a quarter of an inch in thickness, which may be gold, silver, or nickel plated, is bent, as shown at O in the drawing, the large opening being made of a suitable size to receive a hat such as ordinarily worn by gentleman, the brim restng on the ring.

At D the wire is bent intoa loop, to form a handle by which to push the ring under the seat and out again. The wire is also bent into rings at E E and F F, the proper size to adnit of their sliding upon the ways G G. The Ways G G are also made of round iron wire, and are driven first into the back B, and then under the seat A of the pew.
